FAQ
What devices are compatible with this Kingston SDXC card?
This Kingston Canvas Select Plus 128GB SDXC card is compatible with any device that supports the SDXC specification and UHS-I interface. This includes most modern DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, 4K camcorders, tablets, smartphones with microSD adapters, and computers with SD card readers. The card uses the exFAT file system which is natively supported by Windows, macOS, and many camera operating systems for files larger than 4GB.
What does the V10 video speed class rating mean for my video recording?
The V10 (Video Speed Class 10) rating guarantees minimum sequential write speeds of 10 MB/s, which is specifically designed for reliable video recording. This ensures the card can maintain consistent performance when capturing high-bitrate video formats including 4K resolution content. With V10 certification, you can record extended 4K video sessions without experiencing dropped frames, buffer underruns, or recording interruptions that can occur with lower-rated cards.
How does the UHS-I (U1) speed class affect performance?
The UHS-I (Ultra High Speed Phase I) interface with U1 speed class certification ensures minimum sequential write speeds of 10 MB/s for general data transfer performance. This rating is particularly important for photography applications where burst shooting or continuous shooting modes require consistent write performance to clear the camera's buffer quickly. The U1 classification guarantees the card meets specific performance benchmarks for reliable operation in demanding shooting scenarios.
What is the actual usable storage capacity of this 128GB card?
The Kingston Canvas Select Plus SDXC card provides approximately 128GB of raw storage capacity, though actual usable space will be slightly less due to file system overhead and manufacturer capacity calculations (where 1GB = 1 billion bytes). The card uses the exFAT file system which is optimized for large files and minimizes overhead compared to older FAT32 systems. You can expect approximately 119-122GB of usable space for your photos, videos, and other files after formatting.
Can this card handle continuous burst mode photography?
Yes, the Kingston Canvas Select Plus 128GB SDXC card with UHS-I (U1) and V10 ratings is well-suited for continuous burst mode photography. The guaranteed minimum 10 MB/s write speed ensures the card can keep pace with high-resolution image sequences, allowing your camera's buffer to clear efficiently between shots. This performance characteristic makes it suitable for sports photography, wildlife photography, or any scenario where capturing rapid sequences of high-quality images is required.
What is the difference between SDHC and SDXC cards?
SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards support capacities from 4GB to 32GB and use the FAT32 file system which has a 4GB maximum file size limit. SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) cards support capacities from 64GB to 2TB and use the exFAT file system which supports individual files larger than 4GB. This Kingston Canvas Select Plus is an SDXC card, meaning it supports the 128GB capacity and can handle large video files that exceed 4GB, which is essential for 4K video recording and high-resolution photography workflows.
